Whatever happened to Nutri-Grain banana muffin bars?

Nutri-Grain barsI love these breakfast bars, but my two local supermarket chains (Stop & Shop and Shaw's) haven't carried them in months. They carry the blueberry ones, and I've been eating those, but are they still making the banana ones? (Not the cereal bars, I'm talking about the muffin bars.)

According to their web site, they are. Unless, of course, the web site hasn't been updated lately. I have a vague recollection that there was a third flavor of muffin bar too when they first came out, maybe cinnamon? And they don't make those anymore, so maybe banana is going the same route?

I really like these things. I'm sure they're not necessarily healthier than other muffins or other cake-like foods you can eat at breakfast, but they aren't too bad (no trans fats), and they've improved the bars. They're more moist and flavorful now.

Anyone find them in their local stores?

I have also called Kelloggs, who claim they are still available in certain areas. Why does it seem that anything my very picky kids will eat is taken off of the shelves?

I have not only noticed that they baited the consumer into addiction but now they have forced us into withdrawl, cold turkey and they have upped the prices on all of their other inferior products. We don't have a Win Dixie in So Cal. I'll keep searching and see what I can find. Yes America, we need to ban together and fight for our rights!!!! Robyn in Temecula

I should perhaps send the nice man the link to this blog so that he will see there IS a demand for their product. Their are real addicts out there in America who "need" their product on a daily basis! Sorry guys. But at least we can have some closure now and try as best we can to get on with our lives. Merry Christmas anyway.

This is for the mother of two I located some on gophergrocery.com you must spend $35.00 and shipping is free if you spend $75.00 or more. People please let the babies have them first :) good luck Mom! Hope this helps all the addicts. However realize soon everyone will have to go through withdrawl since they are discontinued.

My favorite used to be cinnamon raisin, then I had to switch to blueberry, then I settled for banana when that was all I could find. Now I don't even care to eat breakfast! They were quick, easy, and healthy! I actually went to seven grocery stores last week in one day trying to find them. I'm very disappointed!!!!

I have been looking for them for months and last week our local grocery store had them in the ad, so I of course drove down there like a crazy woman looking for them. Nope, they had none. These are so wonderful for anyone on Weight Watchers. I see they have now made some sort of banana something bars, but they are like a granola bar. I need my muffin bars! Grrr... Thanks all for helping me find out what happed!
